Abstract

This book collects innovative research presented at the 17th Conference of the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe (AGILE) on Geographic Information Science, held in 2014 in CastellÃ³n, Spain. The scientific papers cover a variety of fundamental research topics as well as applied research in Geospatial Information Science, including measuring spatiotemporal phenomena, crowdsourcing and VGI, geosensor networks, indoor navigation, spatiotemporal analysis, modeling and visualization, spatiotemporal decision support, digital earth, and spatial information infrastructures. Â The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students working in various fields and disciplines related to Geospatial Information Science and technology.

13 Citations2014Nadine Schwartges, Jan‐Henrik Haunert +2 more

This work presents an efficient and effective heuristic that labels points with sliding labels in real time and uses a geometric data structure that partitions screen space to quickly predict which labels have to be pushed away.

11 Citations2014Stefano Grassi, Roman Friedli +2 more

The method proposed in this work uses Multi-Criteria Analysis and Least-Cost Path approaches combined with a viewshed analysis in order to identify suitable routes for new transmission lines and a weighted straightening approach is applied.

5 Citations2014Francisco J. López-Pellicer, Miguel Ángel Latre +3 more

This work explores the suitability of a behaviour-driven development (BDD) approach to the conformance testing of OGC Web services in the context of the INSPIRE directive and analyses if BDD and popular BDD tools, such as Gherkin and Cucumber, are compatible with ISO 19105:2000 testing methodology.
